By the way, depending on how demanding you are, I have had good luck painting the fans so that they look like "see thru" fans. I use a thin wash of black India ink (I thin it with Model Master Acryl thinner) to put in the depth. I take a small brush and some medium to light gray paint and carefully paint the cast in fan blades - while the paint is still wet I wipe off the fan grills with a rag DAMPENED lightly with alcohol. This usually leaves the fans looking pretty good, but I also try to match the roof color and lightly dry brush the fan grills to bring them back. So far I have been pretty happy using this on older shells that have the fans molded on.

I would like to see some pics of the finished fans using this technique please.
